Zachary Amzallag: Actor, producer and screenwriter in Toronto, Canada.

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. As a female performer and also a fierce believer of equality in the workplace, I have always introduced my profession as being an "actor." More and more I am "corrected" by the people that I am talking to with "I think you mean 'actress'". It was my understanding that the term "actress" was outdated, and now it was more politically correct to say "female actor," "male actor." Personally, I prefer the latter. I feel that by using the same word to describe us all it puts us on an equal playing field; the word "actress" just sounds less professional and serious to me--as if I'm still the little girl I was when I was 3 dreaming of being a big performer one day (not that there was anything wrong with that). I'm curious to know: Females: what do you introduce your profession as? What else have people heard the most?

The last thing fresh-off-the-ashram Ursula Stone expected to find coming home from her lengthy spiritual quest was a new brother… Much less Oliver Stern, a failing libertarian man-child trying to make it as a Doomsday Prep Consultant.

Fortunately for our mystic mama, she also could not have predicted that the mock portfolio her white-collar crook of a dad taught her to trade as a kid… Well, it wasn’t a ‘mock’ portfolio at all. So when following 2008 she decided to short the Patriarchy in favor of market disruptors like Bitcoin as a ‘cute hedge’ against the evil 1%, not only did her portfolio soar, but it also hedged her against arrogant dick-head know-it-alls like her new step-brother Oliver. Namaste!

Yet despite their differences--and no doubt to save their newlywed parents from a certain series of small coronary infarctions--Ursula and Oliver decide to play nice and launch “Stone & Stern Alternative Venture Capital” catering to the Conscious, Conspiracy, and Crypto communities.

If you tittered a bit and want to read more, we’d be glad to send the script.

Hello everyone, my name is Genevieve Heineman and I am a screenwriter in Toronto. I just came back from the Screenwriter's World Conference in LA! It went great. I saw RB speak on one of the panels and that's how I heard about Stage 32. I pitched my show, Sol, to eighteen companies and thirteen asked for my one-sheet and business card. Hopefully out of those thirteen I'll get one who asks to read the script. Fingers crossed.
